Import Tips
• Provide mill certificates proving cotton content to support 6205 classification over polyester blends
• Confirm no left-over-right closure ambiguity; men's shirts typically button left-over-right per notes
• Watch for set packaging; if sold with trousers as ensemble, may require 6203 classification instead
